Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for March 13, 2016
Transcript:
Mom: Are you picketing? Phoebe: I'm advocating. Mom: For? Phoebe: New punctuation! Earlier I was texting Marigold about the tacos you made for dinner.

I still can’t understand why the interrobang hasn’t taken off — it serves a useful function, and we’re not restricted by the keys on a typewriter anymore.
So what is up with that ‽

Two more examples of the importance of punctuation:
“Woman, without her man, is nothing.” (vs.) “Woman: without her, man is nothing.”
“I like cooking my family and my pets.” (vs.) “I like cooking, my family, and my pets.”
